The main brown trout fisheries in the region are Loughs Conn, Cullin and Arrow all of which have good reputations for the quality of their fishing. Detailed Angling Guides, including maps of these lakes, one covering Loughs Conn and Cullin and one covering Lough Arrow are featured on this site.
In the Moy catchement rich lowland limestone rivers and loughs are home to stocks of heavy, fast-growing trout which are selective feeders and offer challenging sport. They have hatches of mayfly, olives and many sedge species. The remote mountain loughs and streams are populated by smaller free-rising trout which make up for their size by their large numbers. The occasional bigger fish may also lurk in the deeper pools.
There are a variety of lovely lakes, too many to mention individually, but which are worth exploring. They are wonderfully scenic and present a challenge for those with a taste for fishing in wild places. Some of the most interesting of these are Lough Keeran, Lough Brack and Lough Gall where the average size of fish is unusually large and where trout up to three pounds have been recorded.
There are many other small loughs which hold stocks of small, willing trout. These are worth a visit, particularly for the novice angler.
